Lake Casitas is the perfect outdoor playground for many different activities. The park offers excellent fishing, hiking, biking, and camping opportunities. It is located near the town of Oak View but camping can feel as if you are camping in a private lakeside paradise even though you are surrounded by 400 campsites. Some campsites feel as if you are in a secluded lakeside cove.

On my last visit to Lake Casitas I stayed in Mallard 32 which provided a fantastic lake view and was near a Aircraft Runway used for Radio Controlled Aircraft. The Mallard or Osprey campgrounds are the furthest from the park entrance and have the most remote feel. If you are looking for a campsite closer to the boat ramp or park entrance I would choose Angler, Bass, or Creekside. During hotter months and especially in the summer you should try your best to find a shady spot. Not all campsites provide enough shade.
